Lumi.new

Lumi's core move is turning conversation into a working product. You describe what you want and it generates the pages, styling and backend logic in one pass. There is no canvas to drag and no framework to configure, which is what makes it usable for people who have never coded. You refine by asking for changes, not by editing files.

Lumi ships a database inside every project, so your app can store real data without a separate service. Each table has fields, much like a spreadsheet, and Lumi adds the tables it needs when a request calls for them. You can also add or edit records by hand in the workspace when you want to seed content or fix a row.

You can add login and sign-up by asking for it in chat, and Lumi handles the security plumbing. A user dashboard in the workspace lets you view members, check their details and mark people as administrators. Admins get read and write access across the project's data, which covers the account handling most apps need on day one.

The Toolbox bundles pre-built modules so you skip the boring groundwork. It already covers email and AI, with more modules planned, and Functions lets you describe a backend task and have Lumi wire up the third-party service. Payments run through Stripe: describe a plan and Lumi builds the checkout and portal for you.

You can nudge the design without rewriting a prompt. Visual Edits let you change specific elements on the page, and Code Mode opens the underlying code when you want precise control. This pairing matters because it lets a beginner stay in chat while a developer drops into the source and exports it on the Pro plan.

Publishing is a single button, and updates go live without a redeploy. You can connect a custom domain for a branded address, and built-in analytics track visitors, pageviews, session duration and traffic sources. The whole loop from idea to a measured live site happens inside the browser, which keeps a small team from needing extra hosting or tracking tools.
